Charlotte home inspector Preston Sandlin was performing the electrical portion of the home inspection when he noticed two breakers that where double hitched or double tapped. People do this either because there isn't an extra place for a new breaker or the person just wired up something new and didn't want to fool with installing a new breaker. Either way it is improper and you are dragging more current through the breaker than it is designed for. An alternative is that you could install a square d breaker that is designed for a double tap.
